Many Cable or xDSL providers have very little experience with Linux, and refuse to install the Cable or xDSL modem into a PC running Linux. You should investigate with the ISP and see if they allow Linux Installs, or if they are “Linux-Friendly”. You can find out more info on the newsgroups, or by checking out the Linux Cable Modem Section on http://www.CableModemInfo.
